An ostomy is a
surgically made opening (stoma) in the skin that allows the external excretion
of waste products such as stools, mucus, and urine into a bag placed outside
the body of the patient. This bag is known as an ostomy drainage bag. Ostomies
are used for the treatment of intestinal and bladder diseases. These procedures
are also used to treat inflammatory bowel diseases and some types of cancer. An
ostomy can be a temporary or permanent procedure depending on the condition and
needs of the patient. There are three types of ostomy: colostomy, ileostomy,
and urostomy.
